Entertaining for a few seconds, and then quickly dissolving into boring.

I thought the masks were quite good, didn’t find them scary or creepy though.

I thought it was definitely creepy - although “unsettling” is probably a better word for it. The sounds seemed designed to give me a headache, so that added to the effect.

A little creepy looking at first but I was laughing by the end of it.

Interesting. It looks like something that might be quite amusing while tripping on acid.

It’s disturbing for a few moments and when I realized that was it, it became annoying.

Here’s one that I find disturbing and terribly, terribly sad:

I dunno. Seems like whichever way I try I have trouble posting videos. New computer, Windows 8 disaster?

It’s on you tube, stop motion animation, “Severance.”

Creepy, but repetitive. Not scary or particularly disturbing.

Well yeah - if you’re into the creepy mutated faces thing, [Cyriak is definitely your man](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZfmPREbTd8&list=PL81280E14A07C995D).

I didn’t find it creepy, just strange looking.

People these days often love to brag about how easily they’re creeped out or scared. Anything that not “normal” is thus deemed creepy, and people love showing off how frightened or disturbed they are about trifles.

Trifles??? My god, man – the custard, the blasphemous custard surrounding and supporting the unearthly suggested shapes of the sponge cake!!! Madness lies within that unwholesome dessert!!!

I’ll go with “funny”, but without much (or any, really) staying power.

I find the idea of a person with that face, making that noise, pretty creepy. This actual video, not so much, but I can imagine something using that particular imagery in a much more effective manner.
